Heat Balance: In shell-side condensation scenarios, Mass Vapor Fraction in is now properly checked when the free parameter is the shell outlet temperature. Geometry: The dropdown list for the Div. Plate Layout did not show any values when the Number of Passes selected was bigger than 1 (multipass heat exchangers)....

Geometry: A calculated multipass heat exchanger loses its status and goes back to be non-calculated when the Geometry page is no longer the active page and then the user goes back to it. This issue has been fixed. And as usual... minor bug fixes and improvements.

This is an unscheduled update to quickly fix an error introduced in the previous release. Geometry: Fix for multipass heat exchangers: The "Div. Plate Layout" dropdown was not showing the right options for 6 and 8 passes.
Released: 2024-03-12
Geometry: New (internal) properties for materials which allow grouping them in Types (Steel, Aluminium, Copper, Nickel, Titanium) and Groups/Subgroups (for the Steel type). This information is needed, for instance, in order to classify materials and be able to select adequate formulae for mechanical calculations according to ASME VIII, PD 5500,...

Heat Balance: Now the flow direction (counter current / co-current) is taken into account when drawing the inlet and outlet nozzles for the service (shell). Even though this change does not force a geometry recalculation, it affects the way that each of the heat exchanger elements are construed and drawn....

General: Month names are corrected in the object manager (Projects, Geometries, Fluids, etc), which were always shown in English, even though the user might have set another language for the app. Fluids and Mixtures: Fix in the mass balance during mixes calculations when there were one or more gaseous components...

Geometry: New feature! 3D Viewer for your custom heat exchanger modules. You can create vertical and horizontal sections of the module and see the inner tubes; you can also hide the inner tube bundle in order to see only the shell, connections, baffles and expansion bellows. The generated 3D model...

Application: This is a maintenance release. There are no major changes in this release except for the change of certificate used to sign the software package. Because of the change in our code-signing certificate, this update cannot automatically applied and users will need to a manual uninstall and reinstall the...

Fluids and Mixes: Fluids with a blank name (undefined) can now be exported to Excel. Previously, when the fluid was left without a name, exporting was not allowed. Geometry and Baffles: Tubeplate Thickness (Lts) parameter is now editable and its value is taken into account during the pressure drop calculation....

General: More adjustments to the responsive behaviour of the program. Previously, when the left navigation menu was shrunk, the text orientation changed and it could be read vertically. This made that, under certain circumstances, the last option at the bottom of the screen could not be read properly. Now the...
